Portal on Public Awareness, Education and Participation
The Portal on public awareness, education and participation was established to facilitate exchange of information on activities and to provide access to resources relating to the implementation of the different elements of the
Programme of Work on public awareness, education and participation concerning the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs)
, extended until 2020 with revised priority areas.
The Portal provides an overview of activities related to Article 23. It also contains resources to carry out these activities. These include an
awareness survey template
that can be used to conduct biosafety awareness surveys. A
progress map
that tracks and monitors progress in the implementation of the Programme of Work and its priority areas by Parties is also available.
As a result of the
online discussion on public awareness regarding LMOs
, held in 2018, a
bulletin board
was established to facilitate the exchange of resources relevant to public awareness.
An overview of past activities is provided in the
archive
.
